Half White Moonlight Script - Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Yuan Yuan’s Side Story: “I Send the Snow to Fill the World”

His beloved was buried in the darkness before the dawn.

The first time Yuan Yuan met Xu Zhi, he thought she was a celestial maiden descending from the heavens. He didn’t expect her to be justice descending from the sky.

The little fairy was truly beautiful, but she was also a formidable fighter.

He begged her to take him back to the immortal mountain.

She was so easy to fool, believing he was truly just an honest, kind little fat boy.

If she had arrived a step later, the little fat boy would have led the group of people bullying him to a bloodthirsty Demon Cultivator.

She didn’t stop to think that if a little orphan didn’t have any skills at all, how could he be so fair and chubby?

Unfortunately, Sword Saint Du Canying was not so easily fooled. With one casual glance, Yuan Yuan knew this was not someone he could afford to provoke. Fortunately, the man still let him stay.

Yuan Yuan worked very hard-hard at his cultivation, and hard at pleasing his Senior Sister.

Regardless, life here was far better than it had ever been before.

The first time Yuan Yuan realized he felt possessive of his Senior Sister was when Zhu Tao came to visit.

Xu Zhi was a generous girl who never hesitated to share her friends.

She even specifically gave him the snacks Zhu Tao liked and urged him to share them: “Junior Brother, you should go make a new friend.”

Reluctantly, Yuan Yuan handed over the snacks his Senior Sister had given him.

The annoying Zhu Tao was sharp-witted; she saw through his reluctance at a glance and laughingly snatched them all away.

Yuan Yuan: !

I was just being polite! How could you actually take them all?

Yuan Yuan was furious.

During his adolescence, Yuan Yuan’s goal in life was to become the kind of person his Senior Sister liked-a handsome, gentle genius of the sword.

To maintain the facade of a genius, he worked so hard he nearly coughed up blood.

The person he loved was too outstanding; he had to give his all just to keep up with her footsteps.

Yuan Yuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. Without his Senior Sister, he wouldn’t have become the man he was today.

Fortunately, he eventually got his wish.

He studied the medical arts to heal his Senior Sister’s wounds; he became the Immortal Path Leader to become her strongest support.

Yuan Yuan was used to waiting. Waiting for his Senior Sister to understand love, waiting for her to love him, waiting for her to come home.

When they were both young, whenever they faced danger, Xu Zhi would always stand in front of him to protect him.

She would hide him in a safe place and coax him: “Junior Brother, count to ten, and I’ll be back.”

In truth, it was impossible for her to return within ten breaths. But Yuan Yuan was very obedient; he always waited until she appeared before him to shout the final “ten.”

Yuan Yuan believed in her even more than he believed in himself.

Senior Sister was a proud person who never deigned to lie. When she said they would go home after everything was over, Yuan Yuan believed that day would come soon.

But he never expected that she would save the only lie of her life for him.

That night, while one person was envisioning a beautiful future, the other was already silently saying goodbye.

Yuan Yuan wasn’t joking.

At first, he really wanted to follow her into death, but he soon discovered that a sliver of life was still hidden within the wisp of Soul Flame she left behind.

Yuan Yuan spent decades settling everything before bringing her home.

The master who liked to lie in the middle of the water was gone. The lover who ate the lotus seeds from his fingers was gone. The friends who occasionally dropped by were also gone.

Just as it had been before Xu Zhi appeared in his life, Yuan Yuan was once again left with nothing, alone.

Later, the lotuses on Qixue Peak no longer bloomed, and the mountain was shrouded in wind and snow.

Yuan Yuan would fall asleep and wake up with her Soul Flame in his arms.

He didn’t know which year it was when he looked in the mirror and realized his hair had turned white.

The wind and snow beat against the window lattice, making a sound like sobbing.

Outside the window, neither sun nor moon could be seen; there was only the raging ice and snow, wasting his life away.

By the thousandth year, Yuan Yuan felt he had gone mad.

He begged the people of the Heavenly Secrets Sect to read his fortune, to see if there was any chance he could still wait for her return in this lifetime.

The Heavenly Secrets Sect, however, calculated a new marriage fate for him.

Yuan Yuan left laughing, finding it utterly ridiculous. For the sake of his Senior Sister, he had been a good man his whole life, yet he received no good reward.

He decided to be a villain for once and snuff out this unwanted fate.

After finding the person, he was first angry, but then quickly became overjoyed.

She was so similar. Too similar.

Compared to a broken corpse, this body was much more suitable for his Senior Sister.

He thought that perhaps this was the good karma Heaven had granted him.

He rescued Xu Luo, who was surrounded by a pack of beasts, and brought her back to the mountain. He unilaterally decided that since he had saved her, her life belonged to him.

Senior Sister would definitely be unhappy, but who told her not to keep an eye on him?

Senior Sister’s Soul Flame grew stronger and stronger.

Yuan Yuan even began to find the fake more tolerable. He thought about finding another body for Xu Luo that had died of natural causes; otherwise, Senior Sister would surely turn against him once she woke up.

Her love never confused right and wrong.

To his surprise, while he was out looking for a suitable shell for Xu Luo, Xu Luo robbed his house.

Ha.

Meeting again after a long stretch of time, his lover’s appearance remained unchanged.

He hid his frost-white hair and, just like every time he had waited for her to come home in the past, he counted to ten to welcome her home.

She avoided his gaze.

He knew her so well; he knew with one look that she had discovered what he had done.

He was both indignant and resentful. He told her, “I hate you.”

But even Xu Luo could see that the one who cannot let go is the loser.

He had never won.

Fortunately, she finally experienced what he had felt back then, realizing that the one left behind and protected also suffers, and she apologized to him.

Though he had that annoying Xu Luo to thank for that.

Ha, truly, I’m done. Zhu Tao left, and then came Xu Luo.

But it didn’t matter. Overall, Yuan Yuan was satisfied.

The moment she called him “Junior Brother” for the first time upon her return, those years of waiting in the wind and snow no longer needed to be mentioned.

He was simply happy that when the Lotus filled the pond next year, there would be someone to eat the plate of peeled seeds again.
